4 Claims.

This invention relates to beverage glasses and -n particular to noveldrip-proof bases therefor disassembled for cleansing.

Other objects of the invention panying drawing, in which: y

Fig. 1 is a vertical sectional view of a beverage glass embodying theinvention.

Fig. 2 is an enlarged fragmentary detailed sectional view of theembodiment of the invention disclosed in Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a fragmentary sectional View taken on the line 3 3 of Fig. 2.

sert as a means for securing the base to the glass.

Referring now to the drawing wherein like numerals refer to like andcorresponding parts throughout the several views, the embodiment of theinvention disclosed in Figs. 1 to 3 inclusive j receiver tosubstantially the same shape as the bottom of the glass Id having acentral collar I4 depending therefrom is telescoped over the end of thesaid threaded stem I2 and is held centrally with respect to the saidstem l2 and the trally disposed formed in the liquid receiver I8.

The liquidvreceiver I8 is preferably formed riphery of the sald retainerdisc I3 and the inner liquid receiver I8 When the said threaded on thelower end glass IIl.-

Obviously, any condensate or other liquid gravi# tating down the sidesof the glass I0 runs Within I3 and along the top and down the inside ofthe depending collar I 4 thereof into the liquid I8 lfrom whence itcannot escape unless .the liquid receiver I8 is removed from theglassIn, 55

The volume of the said liquid receiver I8 is purposely made many timesgreater than the volume of liquid it is expected to receive to avoid anypossibility of the contents thereof running out between the liquidretainer disc I3 and the bottom of the glass I0.

The bottom of the said liquid receiver I8 may be provided with anannular re-entrant groove 23 therearound to receive moulded or otherscratch preventing pads 24 ii desired.

The embodiment of the invention disclosed in Figs. 4 and 5 is preciselythe same as the embodiment disclosed in Figs. l, 2 and 3 except thatinstead of the use of a metal to metal or composition to compositionseal between the liquid retainer disc I3 and the liquid receiver I8, anannular bracket 25-is provided in the construction disclosed in Figs. 4and 5 instead of a ilared seat-21 which receives and supports an.annular washer 2B of hard but slightly resilient rubber I, leather orthe like, the said washer 25 providing a tight seal between the liquidreceiver I8 and the liquid retainer disc I3.

Fig. 6 discloses a modification of the embodiment of the inventiondisclosed in Figs. l, 2 and 3 which is identical thereto except that aglass stem I2!) integral with said glass It threaded at IBB issubstituted for the centrally disposed threaded insert i2 forming acentrally depending threaded stem on the bottom of pad 24 is provided onthe receiver I8. The threads in the internally threaded upwardlydisposed thimble I'I of the liquid receiver I8 are made complementary tothe round glass threads IGS used on the glass stem |20.

Although but two embodiments of the invention and one modication thereofhave been shown and described herein, it is obvious that many changesmay be made in the size, shape, details and arrangement oi the variouselements of the invention without departing from the spirit thereof asdened in the appended claims.

. I claim:

.1. A dripless beverage glass comprising, incombination, a glassincluding a centrally disposed depending stem, a liquid receiver havingthe .inner periphery of the top thereof slightly larger than the outerperiphery of the bottom of the said glass removably secured on thedepending stem of the said glass, a centrally apertured liquid retainerdisc `adapted to serve as a cover for the said liquid receiver disposedin the top or the said liquid receiver below the said glass, the saidliquid redownward into the means for holding the said m of the saidliquid retainer glass,.and means for supporting the said liquid retainerin spaced relationship to the bottom oi the said glass and for effectinga seal between the inner 'periphery of the said liquid receiver and theouter periphery o the said liquid retainer simultaneously with securingthe said liquid retaineron the stein of the said glass, the volume othe-said liquid receiver and the relationship of the said liquidretainer thereto being such that liquid gravitating into the said liquidreceiver will not spill therefrom during use.

2. A dripless beverage glass comprising, in combination, a glassincluding a centrally disposed depending threaded stem, a liquidreceiver having the inner periphery Yoi Ithe top thereof slightly largerthan the outer periphery of the bottom of the said glass threaded on thedepending stem of the'saidiglass, a centrally apertured liquid retainerdisc adaptedto serve as a cover for the said liquid receiver disposed inthe top of the said liquid the said glass, the said liquid retainerbeing formed to drain downward into the said liquid receiver, meansliquid retainer spaced from the bottom of the said glass, and means forsupporting the said liquid retainer in spaced relationship to the bottomof the said glass and for effecting a seal between the inner peripheryof the said liquid receiver and the outer periphery of the said liquidretainer simultaneously with threading the said liquid retainer on thestem of the said glass, the volume of the said liquid receiver and therelationship of the said liquid retainer thereto being such that liquid-gravitating into the said liquid receiver will not spill therefromduring use.

3. A dripless beverage glass comprising, in combination, a :glassincluding a centrally disposed depending threaded stem, a liquidreceiver having the inner periphery of the top thereof slightly largerthan the louter periphery of the bottom of the :said glass threaded `onthe depending stem of the .said glass, 'the upper peripheral edge `ofthe said liquid receiver being disposed in outwardly and upwardly spacedrelationship with respect to the lower outer periphery of the saidglass, a centrally apertured liquid retainer disc adapted to serve as aAcover for 'the said liquid receiver disposed in Ithe top of the saidliquid receiver below the said glass centrally depending stem of thesaid glass, the said liquid .retainer being formed to drain centrallydownward into the said `liquid receiver, means for holding the saidliquid retainer spaced from the bottom of the said glass, means forholdmg the said liquid retainer central with respect to and spaced ,fromthe depending stem 'of the said glass, and an annular vinwardly anddownwardly flared seat for-med on the inner wall of the said liquidreceiver vertically located to engage the outer periphery of the saidliquid retainer and effect 'a seal rbetween the said liquid receiver andthe said liquid retainer when the said liquid receiver is threaded onthe stem of the said glass.

4. Ajdripless beverage glass comprising, in cornbination, .a 4glassincluding a centrally disposed depending threaded stem, a liquidreceiver having the inner periphery of `the top thereof slightly largerthan the outer periphery of the bottom of the said glass threaded on thethe said glass, the upper peripheral edge of the said .liquid receiverbeing disposed in outwardly and upwardly spaced relationship withrespect to the lower outer periphery of the said glass, a centrallyapertured serve -as a cover i-or the Vsaid liquid receiver 'disposed invvthe top of the .said liquid receiver .below the said glass and inspaced relationship to the centrally depending stem Aof the said glass,the said liquid retainer being formed to drain centrally downward Ainto`the said -liquid receiver, means `'for holding the said liquid retainerspaced from the bottom of the said glass,means for holding the fsaidliquid retainer central with respect to and spaced from the dependingfstem of the said glass, an annular upwardly disposed bracket formed vonfthe inner -wa'll -of the said liquid receiver, .and a resilient washersupported on said bracket, the vsaid bracket and washer supportedthereon :being so vertically located with the bottom of the said liquidretainer as to effect a seal between the said A.liquid receiver andlliquid retainer when the said liquid receiver is threaded on the stem-o Athe said glass.
